Cajun Zydeco dance in Providence, RI with Crawdad Wranglers, Ryan Thomson - accordion, band leader

Ryan's web site - http://www.captainfiddle.com Ryan Thomson has been leading the Crawdad Wranglers band since 1989. This evening dance took place in the American - Lithuanian Club in Providence, Rhode Island. The band continues to perform throughout New England for concerts and cajun/zydeco dances. Contact Ryan Thomson through his web site for booking information. Ryan also teaches cajun dancing, accordion and fiddle in workshops, classes, and private lessons. Band members at this dance include: Ryan Thomson - accordion, Brian Richardson - guitar, Steve Brown - drums, Jeff Lind - bass, Paul Mangion - rub board and cajun triangle. Our friend Bob Nilson is shown doing a pencil sketch of the band. Ryan doesn't play fiddle in this recording because it was recorded after he lost the ability to play violin due to his disease of focal dystonia, but before he re-taught himself to play violin left handed. In later band videos you'll see him playing violin.
